It has more to do with the client side than the server side. The range on
the client can be closed down but one then runs the risk of causing other

This is nothing new. Open an ftp connection to a server somewhere and take a
netmon trace. Your packets are going out to port 21 but what's coming back
is just some random port >1024.
